The sons of pop
singer Marion Ryan began performing
at the age of 16. In 1965 they signed a
recording contract with Decca under the name of Paul & Barry Ryan. Within
two years they had amassed 8 Top 50 singles in the UK. Their best sellers were
"Don't Bring Me Your Heartaches" in 1965, "I Love Her" in
1966, and "Have Pity On The Boy", a hit the same year.This success took its toll on Paul, who was
unable to cope any longer with the stress of show business. It was decided that Barry would
now continue as a solo artist, enabling his brother to stay out of the
limelight and write songs for his twin to perform. Their greatest achievement
as a composer-singer duo, now for MGM Records, was "Eloise", a hit in
1968. Melodramatic and heavily
orchestrated, it sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc. "Love is Love", their next chart entry, also became a
million-seller.The work of Paul & Barry Ryan as
a duo in the 60’s has been seemingly out of print for years...until now!“Have Pity On The Boys! The Pop Hits &
More 1965-1968” features all their A-sides, most of the B-sides, and selections
from their two 60’s albums - one of which has never seen the light of day on
compact disc. Features 31 tracks, and is
accompanied by a full color booklet with liner notes, pictures and
annotations. GREAT!!
